Only 103 today. It's cooling down!
And I didn't end up at the medic tent either! Plus we got a prime parking spot in Lot 1.
LOTS of great music today.
- Arcade Fire gave another AWSOME show. They are sooooo much better live than on their recordings.
- Roky Erickson (from the 60's psychodellic band 13th Floor Elevators) can still play a mean guitar and sing like a madman - mental illness not withstanding.
- Gotan Project was a perfect penultimate end to a great day.
- Cornelious was the PERFECT end to a great day. And, I so wish MousePod could've been there with us to share some Japanese love.
- LCDSounsystem was fricken awsome but so incredibly crowded I just about died. They have such a Pere Ubu/Buzzcocks feel to them, I love them! I want to see them again very soon.
- Peter, Bjorn and John needed a bigger tent. It was the Gnarles Barkley syndrom from last year - the band too popular too fast and outgrew their tent even before they played. The result was not good for us. I was really looking forward to seeing them, and they were great - there was just too many bodies to hear well.
- !!! - LOVED them and need to see them again. Soon.
We saw more, but I'm fried.
